Material Shader: output fragment depth?

hi,
I'm working on a game with very complex isometric sprite-based scenes. Currently we're doing the depth-sorting in software (AS3) and it's taking up a considerable amount of our frame time. I've been eagerly awaiting Molehill so that I can finally use z-buffering to depth-sort the scene, however reading through the docs I'm not sure whether it can actually do what I need it to.
In order to implement depth sprites (aka "nailboard sprites"), I need to be able to output the fragment depth from the material shader. In GLSL this is gl_FragDepth. In DirectX it's PS_OUTPUT.DEPTH.
Reading the docs, it appears that only colour can be output by the material shader? Is this correct?!
If so, this is very frustrating.
Is there any way to access the stencil/depth buffer, or render-to-texture?

This is a Molehill question rather than a Pixel Bender 3D question. PB3D is built on top of Molehil so doesn't supply anything more than Molehill does. You might want to ask on the Flash player forums here:

Material Document Output Message

Hi
I cutomize the Mat.Doc Output Message WE01 to ZE01.
In OMJ3 I already removed the WE01 for the new plant.
However still in the Plant#2000 material document picks up both message
Where else i should remove ?
Thanks
MM

Hi Garapati
Output WE01 is already in use at other plants (ex; 1000) using different forms.
ZE01 which is to be used for plant 2000.
So, I can't delete in Output Determination or NACE/T.
I thought if I dont maintain the WE01 output type in OMJ3 for Plant 2000, suppose to not appear and only appear the ZE01.
But now both appears.

Material master/Output type IDOC /MATMAS

Hello ,
I want to generate Idoc(MATMAS) whenever a material is created or changed. I could do the same for ME21N/ME22N for PO with PO idoc. Would like to know whether there is output types for material master or anything else so that i can generate Idoc for my senario.
Thanks for ur time.
Jeeva.

Hi,
the configurations which we do for material master is below...we don't give any output for material master,becoz its a master data not transactional data..
        For distributing master data like material master, vendor master, customer master we have standard transaction codes that are provided by sap.
Bd10(send material master)
Bd12(send customer master)
Bd14(send vendor master)
Bd30(boms)
The order of Tcodes are:
           Bd54 (creating logical systems)
           Scc4 (assigning logical systems )
           Sm59 (rfc destination)
           We81 ( message type)
           We30 ( idoc type)
           We31 ( segment type)
           We82 (linking message type and idoc type)
           We21 (creating port)
           We20 (partner profiles)
           Bd64 (Distribution model)
           Bd10 (material master)
Ex: material master.
     Message type: matmas.
     Idoc type: matmas05.

Single raw material with output of 2 finish product

All,
In our scenario, we have the pressing machine which have the dye to create the right and left bumper of the car in a single stock . if we give the single raw material , the ouput will be two finish products 1. right bumper and 2. left bumper.
while confirming the order, how we can get two fert?

Create Left Bumper And Right bumper as FERT, Maintain a co product Indicator for Both and maintain Joint production details in MRP 2view ( ex 50 % for Left bumper and 5o % for right bumper ) the cost will proportioned accordingly
IN BOM
Create a BOM for Left Bumper
and maintain component as raw material with qty
and Right bumper as 1- and maoinatin co product indictor in item detail
ANd save
WHile doing GR in MB31 System will propose Both Left and Right bumper with 101 movement type.

Excise Output Material Type

Hello Experts ,
In Material Master or J1id , do i have to maintain output material type??
If yes ... picture this ...
My client has 2 lac raw material , which can be interchangeably used to produce 1lac finished goods.
One particular material can be used to make more than one finished goods . Can I ...
1. Define a dummy finished material & put it as output material type in material masters for all ROH materials?
2. Put any arbitrary finished material as output type for ROH ?
3. Can i by any means put more than one finsished materials for one particular raw material in masters?
Pls pass the gyaan
Thx
Rgds,
Anis

hey kunal !
thanks as always ...
My clients is a make to order scenario...
n the raw material is highly generic ...
assigning any particular finished goods is not fine...
A) Can u tell me where does this output type material hv implication in mandatory excise reports /forms ...???
And also does this o/p mtrl have any accounting effect??
As i understand .. while filing annual returns (ER6) the client (manufacturer) has to show that X units of raw material was used to produce Y units of finished goods. This is just a snapshot n contains no details.
There r basically 3 classes ( material grps ) of finished goods produced from 4 classes ( material grps ) of raw material .
Ref to point A, if there r no a/c financial implications of the field , can i assign any arbitaray or dummy o/p mtrl ???
Hope i have made my "q" clear ...
pls guide ...

How to Differentiate between Parent & child item of material determination

Hi Experts
I have a list of material & the Business requirement is to found that whether a material is a Parent material , Child material or Both ( a parent to other children and a child to another parent).
I tried using table KONDD & KONDDP but I was not able to differeniate between Parent & Child item.
I even cant use item category to diferentaite the two as by item categairy i can only find that it is a Prent material but cant find whether this material is a Child material or not.
Is there any table in which i can enter the Parent material & the output would be child material or any other table which contain both parent & child material.
Note : In Material determination ( VB11) , the material which is entered is Parent material & the material with which it would be replaced is Child material.
Kindly Guide.
Thanks in Advance

Hi
The wording of Parent and Child sounds like using a BOM material. In material determination...these two items can be called as Material entered and material determined or Main Item and Sub Item.
In the sales order overview screen...at line item level check the field 'HLvItem' (Higher Level Item). It will show the POSNR of the main item to which this item is linked. Since this can also happen in the case of free goods and BOM...you have make another check for these items with the item category.
If the substitue material is not determined as a sub item... you can check the material number in the field 'Material Entered' in the sales tab of the item and compare the material number with that exists in the VBAP-MATNR. If both are different, then this material can be considered as a determined material.
Thanks,
Ravi

Why are dots missing from PDF output?

When I use the 'line' tool with dots, (in this case to draw a line-break,) AND export a .pdf, it often leaves out a single dot in the line. There are no objects intersecting the line, or even within a half-inch of its location. The missing dot is consistent across the document, nearly always the second or third dot in the line. And this happens with all forms of dots - normal, japanese, etc. The dot is present in the InDesign application, just not in the material it outputs.
Thanks a million for your help!
Screenshots below:

Hey Bob,
Looks like you're on to something with the program used to open it. While the PDF reader presents the problem, the web plugin does not. (It opens fine in both Chrome and Firefox.) And it renders just fine as imported into Illustrator.
So that really narrows the problem down to the renderer. I'll submit the bug report.
Thanks!!!

Material number suffixing with ! for some material in material master

Hi Friends,
We have uploaded material master data with BDC . but for some of materials contain ! sign at the end of the material number. Means , at the 18th charecter ! is appearing. but it does not appear in mm03 while displaying. and even while finding it from MARA if we put material number without ! sign then we can possible to get that material. and it does not allow us to crate material with same material number withought ! sign.
But if while creating material if we put material with ! at the 18th charecter it creates material with ! sign but while searchig from MARA if you dont put ! sign with material number we can not get that material as output and if we create other material without ! sign it allows to create the material.
Please can you tell me what is the reson why ! is getting added at the end of material number ... do any1 of you have faced the same kind of situation and found for what reason it is coming....
Thanks & Regards.
Praja.

Hi,
This is due to config. In our case whenever we enter 8 digit number for Eg:
12345678 material will be created as 1234.5678 a dot will appear after every 4 digits.
But when we actually look at mara we wont find the dot (.) .
We can do this by config by setting perfix and sufix to the material number. actually these characters will not be stored in DB.
It will be shown in output when the function module CONV_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT runs.
check config in OMSL transaction.
In TMCNV table check field TEMPLATE it will have the template how the material number should be in our case its ____.____
Your case might be ________________!

REG: Creating customer stock for different material codes has an single set

Hi FRIENDS,
we are purchasing finished items from our vendor in numbers (Eg. Item Number 1 to 6 (all different items and having different item codes)) and selling it to our customer in a set ( 1 set contains all this 6 items and we have code for this Set). Please let me know how to create the customer stock for these items in the store as the store shows stock for 7 different items, not in a set.
Please let em know if any more information is nedded

hi dan,
as per your requriment you can have all MRP viewsfor HAWA material type.
that means you are purchasing, use HAWA for finished goods in SAP system.
if you are having different item codes seperately for each item.
take one packing material called CARTON and maintain UOM as 6 items and you can pack the same in BOM.
use PP -PHANTOM - BOM which should add all the 7 materials in & gives one single material as OUTPUT.
use 561 GMT and upload that material as a final finished goods and in MMBE you can see only one called CARTON inside it set of 6 materials will be there.
BUT BE AWARE OF COSTING OF THE MATERIAL because each material will be having the its price. So discuiss with PP as well as FICO consultants.
whether you will cost the total set of carton or individual material
go ahead
test and confirm
this clears your issue

Output Determination for Shipping/ Handling Units etc

Could someone give me the steps to out put determination for outbound deliveries.
I am trying to get the labels printed for materials and handling units. I do not want a partner function while creating the records, however it does not allow me to proceed without a partner function. I am not sure if i have understood the process right. I have got BA00 working perfect. A response will be appreciated.

Susan,
For output detrmination type for lets say material labelling output type MALB has acess sequence that links two tables one is related to shipping materail type and other is partner function or may be combination of partner function ship2 party and handling unit or packaging materail.
If you dont want partner function then remove the tables in the acess sequence make it shiapping materail type as more specific entry in the acess sqeuence amt check as exculsive so that by default it should create record on the basis of shipping material.
I hope this would not wllow you to have partner function in any of theacesssequence you are using.
I hope this will work for u
Thanks

Saving Color and Depth data as png to filestream

I try to save both color and depth data to separate files as PNGs using PngBitmapEncoder but I get much less depth frames saved than color.
If I save color as Jpeg with JpegBitmapEncoder and depth as PNG using PngBitmapEncoder I get the same amount of frames from both streams.
Can anyone explain me why?
private void myKinectSensor_ColorFrameReady(object sender, ColorImageFrameReadyEventArgs e)
using (ColorImageFrame color = e.OpenColorImageFrame())
if (color != null)
colorbits = new byte[color.PixelDataLength];
color.CopyPixelDataTo(colorbits);
PngBitmapEncoder enc = new PngBitmapEncoder();
enc.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(BitmapSource.Create(color.Width, color.Height, 96, 96, PixelFormats.Bgr32, null, colorbits, color.Width * color.BytesPerPixel)));
if (StartSavingFrames)
string temppath = System.IO.Path.Combine(@"../output/kinect1/color/", colorcnt.ToString() + ".jpeg");
FileStream fs = new FileStream(temppath, FileMode.Create);
enc.Save(fs);
fs.Close();
fs = null;
colorcnt++;
else { colorcnt = 0; }
private void myKinectSensor_DepthFrameReady(object sender, DepthImageFrameReadyEventArgs e)
using (DepthImageFrame depth = e.OpenDepthImageFrame())
if (depth != null)
frame = new short[depth.PixelDataLength];
depth.CopyPixelDataTo(frame);
for (int i = 0; i < depth.PixelDataLength; i++)
frame[i] = (short)(((ushort)frame[i]) >> 3);
PngBitmapEncoder enc = new PngBitmapEncoder();
enc.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(BitmapSource.Create(depth.Width, depth.Height, 96, 96, PixelFormats.Gray16, null, frame, depth.Width * depth.BytesPerPixel)));
if (StartSavingFrames)
string temppath = System.IO.Path.Combine(@"../output/kinect1/depth/", cnt.ToString() + ".png");
FileStream fs = new FileStream(temppath, FileMode.Create);
enc.Save(fs);
fs.Close();
fs = null;
cnt++;
else { cnt = 0; }

performance of the write operations and the operations of the system at the time you are calling them. You need to ensure your functions are returning and releasing(disposing) of the frames faster than the callback times. When you hold onto data to
long, that just prevents your application from getting new data.
Have a look at the coordinate mapping sample from the toolkit for a way to copy both the depth and color at the same time. From there you need to create a new thread to save that data since write speeds are very slow.
